....maybe it's time to revisit the famous big 10......
10 Questions for the SNP regarding leaving the UK......
1) How will you replace the funding you get from England?
2) Are you happy to continue using the pound but have no control of it?
3) How will you service your part of the national debt?
4) How will you stop the inevitable exodus to England once the decision has been made?
5) Will you continue to offer free prescriptions, university etc ?
6) …if so how far are you prepared to raise taxes for those that remain?
7) How will you attract investment to, what will have to be a high taxation area?
8) How will you replace and fund the parts of the UK infrastructure that you now take for granted? Eg military, police, public transport?
9) are you prepared to adopt the EURO as a condition of joining the EUSSR?
10) Are you prepared to construct a border as a condition of joining the EUSSR?

The SNP have never addressed any of the above perhaps our resident "independence" supporters would like to have a go.

RH, ah, I see. An opportunity to dig at Naomi. That’s fine if it pleases you - but that said I’m pretty sure that most of the time I post something that relates to the OP.

"The SNP have never addressed any of the above perhaps our resident "independence" supporters would like to have a go."

I have provided you with links to reports produced by the Scottish Government in connexion with independence more than once.

Naomi I am just pointing out the hypocrisy.
I have stayed on topic on another thread and in you come and pick away

[Redhelen72]

Playing the victim card doesn’t suit you by the way

[naomi24]

Victim card, RH? I see no evidence of that at all. In fact I find it all rather amusing. Anyway, have no doubt I get exactly where you’re coming from … so back to the topic. ;o)

1) How will you replace the funding you get from the UK?

No charge for editing. x

The 'famous' 10 as a talking point is just that because, as we've seen a couple of times now, separation ain't going to happen.

[ToraToraTora]

Well your new gaffer thinks it might doug!

[douglas9401]

He's already tripping over his own feet, I hope they haven't ordered his headed paper.

[Peter Pedant]

Odd, I thought it was the UK Government's money?
and so did Boris hur hur hur

our tax money - so few in Scortland ( 10% 6m) so spread out, that they get £1000 a head gobmint money more than us southerners

well at least TTT didnt call him a pukey

[Deskdiary]

I do wish people wouldn't be deliberately obtuse.

It is a widely known, absolutely undeniable fact, that the per-capita spend on the Scots is greater than that on the English, to the benefit of the Scottish people and arguably the detriment of the English.

Without this undeniable fact it's doubtful there'd be free prescriptions, free university education and free anything else our generosity allows the Scottish Government to provide.

[New Judge]

NH, is he planning to challenge Westminster? As far as I’m aware the new leader swerved Nicola’s transgender vote.

It seems so:
